In advance of Valentine’s Day, some cards which caught my eye while browsing around the web (and one special commission). I wasn’t on a mission, but they all seem to feature animals–the usual suspects, and one strange beast. Since the Victorian era, Valentine’s Day cards have developed as a special genre of ephemera all to themselves, and I will have some vintage Valentines coming up later, but for now, cards you can catch.
